Steiner-Waldorf lockdown learning with Floris Books

As many children gather around kitchen tables again at home rather than joining together in classrooms, we know that families are facing a challenging time.

To help, we have gathered together a selection of our Steiner-Waldorf books to assist your at-home learning. From craft activities to encourage their creativity, to stories to spark their imagination and tailored resources to help enhance your at-home teaching. 

We also have lots of sample activities on our blog to keep young minds and hands busy. Have you tried any of these projects yet?
